Valentine Strawberry Hot Chocolate Recipe LOVE
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 pint strawberry ice cream
4 cups water
Whipped cream
1 cup Mini chocolate chips
1 tablespoon chocolate sprinkles
In a medium-sized bowl, melt the chocolate chips and dip the top of four mugs into the chocolate. Set aside, allowing chocolate to harden.
In a medium pot, whisk together the butter, sugar, and ice cream over medium high heat until melted. Whisk in the water, one cup at a time until your favorite texture/flavor is achieved. Heat just until steaming. Pour into chocolate-rimmed mugs. Garnish with a dollop of whipping cream and a sprinkling of chocolate sprinkles. Serve with your favorite bite-sized cookies for dipping. Happy Valentines Day!
